Our Bulls – Male

“JAWS”

“Jaws”
Jaws is a very special shark to everyone, but especially the feeders. He arrived at the Big Fish Encounter looking very thin and with his flesh hanging from his body. The left hand side of his jaw was hanging open, almost completely severed, presumably from a battle with fishing tackle. The feeders worked with him and Jaws is now a healthy male, 1.5m/5ft long with a very gentle and easy going manner, although his jaw still hangs open on the left hand side and he can only feed with the right hand side of his mouth – June 2003

“WHITENOSE”

“Whitenose”
Whitenose is a regular to the Big Fish Encounter. When he shows up he is a little edgy which seems to affect the other animals. He is very easily distinguished by the white patch on the tip of his nose – June 2003

“Blackbeard”
The BIG male of the Big Fish Encounter, Blackbeard measures 2m/7ft. He is a large animal but still very cautious, identifiable by a large fish hook lodged in the right corner of his mouth – February 2004

“BITE”

“Bite”
Shark bite on right side of the head above right corner of mouth – March 2008

“TRAILER”

“Trailer”
Base of inner margin of first dorsal fin twisted – January 2009

“CHOPPER”

“Chopper”
One of the smallest of the regular Bulls, Chopper measures a scant 1.5m/5ft. Half of his upper tail fin has been chopped clean off, possibly from a clash with a shark-finning vessel – July 2004
